Chapter 576
Xia Ye Zhao checked the time, already half past ten at night. He got up and said to the incoming Ye Jun Qing, “I’m going to sleep in the living room, you’ll take over midnight watch.”
Ye Jun Qing couldn’t believe his brother-in-law still had some conscience. After Xia Ye Zhao left, he immediately locked the door, sat down by the bed, and was about to touch her forehead to see if her fever had dropped, but was stopped by Ye Xingguang.
“Still mad? How many times do I have to tell you that there’s nothing between Yan Xi and me before you’ll believe it?”
Ye Xingguang didn’t say anything, but her stomach made a grumbling noise.
“Hungry? What do you want to eat?”
“I don’t want anything, I’ll just throw it up.”
Ye Xingguang picked up the remote on the bedside table and turned on the TV, flipping through the channels. After some searching, she found a drama that looked somewhat interesting. She sat on the bed, passing the time by watching TV.
Ye Jun Qing didn’t force her to eat and took off his shoes to get into bed.
Seeing his actions, Ye Xingguang asked, “What are you doing?”
Ye Jun Qing didn’t reply, sat next to her and pulled her into his arms. Ye Xingguang struggled a bit, but he lowered his voice, “Nothing, just watching TV with you. You’re so sick, what else could I do? It’s gotten colder today, come to bed where it’s warm.”
He was warm, but when he slipped under the covers, it brought a wave of cold, chilling her.
Ye Xingguang snorted, what a dog man!
However, she didn’t kick him out of bed. She just didn’t want to deal with him. She focused her beautiful eyes on the TV screen, the leading man in the drama was pretty good-looking, and the acting was top-notch. She quickly got immersed in the plot.
Outside the door, a bodyguard knocked: “Master Qing, time’s up.”
“What time is up?” Ye Xingguang was curious.noveldrama
Ye Jun Qing was agitated: “Your father, my father-in-law, only allows me to be in here for five minutes every hour!”
They say it’s better to dismantle a temple than destroy a marriage, yet he was so subservient that he only obeyed her uncle’s orders. Once this matter was over, he’d settle the score with him for daring to kick him out!
Ye Xingguang paused, stifling a laugh, snorted “Since my dad said so, you should just leave. Don’t make my bed any colder.”
Unfortunately, Ye Jun Qing turned a deaf ear. He had locked the door behind him and was already in bed, finally holding her in his arms. Did she really think he would easily leave at this point?
“I apologize, I won’t jump to conclusions anymore, and I won’t accuse you of cheating. Can that work?” Ye Junqing turned her face to look at him, his tone serious. “Now I finally understand how it feels to be falsely accused, I’m going to remember this lesson. Unless there is undeniable evidence, I won’t suspect you of anything with Li Yu, even if you two are together all the time, I’d still believe that nothing is going on between you two. Can you accept that?”
At his words, Ye Xingguang looked away in annoyance; “There was never anything between Li Yu and me, and you still doubted me!”
“Then believe me, there’s nothing between Yan Xi and me, can you trust me this time?”
She tried to look away, but he didn’t allow it, staring into her eyes and leaning in to kiss her. She refused, knocked his hand away, pushed him away and lay down with her back to him, not speaking.
Ye Jun Qing laid down as well, held her from behind and whispered in her ear, “If I told you that the sly, heartless little brat I kept mentioning is actually you, would you believe me?”
“I don’t believe you.” Her reply was very firm.
